Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Researchers identify correlation between MBI(Mild behavioral impairment) and Alzheimer disease

You probably want your doctor to test you with the Mild Behavioural Impairment Checklist (MBI-C) so you know early enough that you need to be doing the Alzheimer prevention protocols you doctor should have for you. 

Your chances of getting dementia.


1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012.


2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.


3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.


4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018 


5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

 

You can't use mine, I'm not medically trained, your doctors are much better; vetted and clinically tested.

Researchers identify correlation between MBI(Mild behavioral impairment) and Alzheimer disease

MedicalXpress Breaking News-and-Events | April 09, 2020
In recent years, scientists have conducted more than 100 clinical trials in the hopes of finding new indicators capable of diagnosing Alzheimer disease prior to the manifestation of clinical symptoms such as memory loss. Though mild behavioral impairment (MBI), characterized by changes in the normal patterns of behavior in the elderly, had already been suggested to be an indicator, its role had not yet been validated.
In a recent paper published in Alzheimer's and Dementia, Firoza Lussier, in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Disease Research Unit of the McGill University Research Centre for Studies in Aging, found that MBI may very well give important clues about the early stages of dementia.

Connection between cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms

In order to verify MBI's association to the early stages of Alzheimer , the researchers used imaging techniques to measure —a protein at the core of Alzheimer disease—in the brains of nearly 100 cognitively healthy elderly individuals with varying degrees of MBI from the Translational Biomarkers in Aging and Dementia (TRIAD) cohort.
"The unique design of the McGill TRIAD cohort allows young scientist like Firoza to discover the impact of diseases in which specific proteins have become abnormal on , " says Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, Director of the McGill University Research Centre for Studies in Aging.

This is the first time a research team investigates the relationship between MBI and biomarkers of Alzheimer disease in elderly individuals.
"We found that the presence and severity of MBI in these cognitively healthy individuals was strongly associated with the presence of amyloid plaques in the brain, which is one of the first pathological changes in early stages of Alzheimer," says Firoza Lussier, who is a master's student in McGill's Integrated Program in Neuroscience.

Using the MBI as a prediction tool

It has been noted that MBI could potentially serve as an interesting proxy for clinicians to diagnose Alzheimer disease before the onset of symptoms. This could be done with the help of the Mild Behavioural Impairment Checklist (MBI-C), an instrument used to codify mental disorder symptoms attributable to diseases of the nervous system in pre-dementia populations.
"This is an important study because it may help identify people who are at a higher risk of progression of Alzheimer disease by employing a user-friendly clinical scale developed in Canada by Dr. Zahinoor Ismail, and already available world-wide," adds Dr. Serge Gauthier, Director of the Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders Research Unit.
Lussier and her colleagues now hope to conduct longitudinal imaging studies to confirm whether MBI is predictive of changes in Alzheimer disease biomarkers.
"Mild behavioral impairment is associated with β-amyloid but not tau or neurodegeneration in cognitively intact elderly individuals" by Firoza Lussier et al. was published in Alzheimer's & Dementia.
